I'm a big documentary buff and well, I would love some trans* documentaries to watch, FtM preferred but anything is welcome!

I've watched everything available on netflix and I would like things that I can easily access on the internet without having to go download it. topdocumentaryfilms.com doesn't have anything I haven't watch so...

Yea. I'll go dig around netflix and get back to you but topdocu has the taboo episode on transgenderism. I thought it was going to absolutely terrible and I went into it expecting to be offended and...It's really really good!

Beautiful Daughters seems to be the only one I can find. I enjoyed Trained in the Ways of Men but that's really sad. You can check out Gender Rebels but I was kinda iffy on that. I enjoyed Venus Boys (if they still have that) but that is mostly drag kings but one or two of them are FtMs.

last I checked, transgeneration (a miniseries from like 2005) was available to be streamed from netflix. It had some 'eh' moments and actually the trans female characters/documentees were more interesting to me than the trans male documentees, but...it's ok.

It is not on netflix, but it is available via internet: Gender Redesigner.http://www.logotv.com/shows/gender_redesigner/series.jhtmlI found it to be very refreshing and happy.fAe is so awesome and I can really relate to him better than, Thomas, Chaz, or any other more "binary" guy in the media today.Cheers.

You Don't Know Dick is a documentary from the 1990s about transsexual men that I really enjoyed. I don't know how hard it is to find a copy these days, though. I saw it on PBS back in the day. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118206/

Most of my favorite trans documentaries were not available online, but i could get them through inter-library loan. So even if your local library doesn't have them, you might find another library in its system that does. And if you have a college near by, sometimes you can get a community account for a small fee that gives you access to their documentaries and inter-library loan system as well.Documentaries i liked: Ke Kulana He Mahu: Remembering a Sense of PlaceScreaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's CafeteriaCall Me MalcolmSouthern ComfortCruel & Unusual
